To subdivide an approximately 83-hectare site to create 91 rural residential lots, and 4 balance lots of approximately 16 hectares in total for native forest planting (to claim for carbon credits).

The Minister for the Environment is not satisfied that the project will help to achieve the purpose of the COVID-19 Recovery (Fast-track Consenting) Act 2020 (FTCA) and therefore the project does not meet the referral criteria in section 18 of the FTCA. The Minister also considers it is more appropriate for the project to go through standard consenting processes under the Resource Management Act 1991.
